An overview of the Location Referencing toolbox

The Location Referencing toolbox provides essential tools for the configuration and management of the LRS.

Tools in the Location Referencing toolbox

Tool	Description
Append Events	Appends event records from a table, layer, or feature class to an existing ArcGIS Location Referencing event feature class.
Append Routes	Appends routes from an input polyline into an LRS Network.
Apply Event Behaviors	Updates the event locations for all event feature classes registered with the input network based on the route edit performed.
Calculate Intersecting Route Measures	Creates a table of all the routes and measures at each intersection location.
Calculate Route Concurrencies	Calculates and reports concurrent route sections in an LRS Network.
Delete Routes	Deletes routes and associated data elements from the LRS Network.
Derive Event Measures	Populates and updates the DerivedRouteID field and measure values on point and line events with those fields configured and enabled.
Generate Calibration Points	Generates calibration points for any route shape provided, including complex shapes such as self-closing, self-intersecting, and branched routes.
Generate Events	Regenerates shapes for event features registered with an LRS Network.
Generate Intersections	Generates new intersections and updates existing intersections.
Generate Routes	Re-creates shapes and applies calibration changes for route features in an LRS Network.
Overlay Events	Overlays one or more linear event feature layers onto a target network and outputs a feature class or table that represents the dynamic segmentation of the inputs.
Remove Overlapping Centerlines	Removes overlapping centerline sections to ensure that there is one common centerline when centerline geometry overlaps.
Reverse Line Orders	Reverses the line order for all the routes in a line.
Translate Event Measures	Translates the measures (m-values) of a point or line event layer from one linear referencing method (LRM) to another.
Update Measures From LRS	Populates or updates the measures and route ID on Utility Network (UN) features such as pipes, devices, and junctions or on features in feature classes that are not UN or LRS feature classes.

Toolset in the Location Referencing toolbox

Toolset	Description
Configuration	The Configuration toolset contains tools that allow you to create and modify an LRS, LRS Networks, and LRS events, as well as configure a utility network for use with an LRS.
